College Bound: A Black Girl's Guide: Everything
You Need to Know Before Starting College

Why Black Girls Need Supplemental Materials

Black girls are brilliant, capable, and full of potential, yet too often, they are overlooked or underserved by traditional education systems that weren’t designed with their unique identities, experiences, and cultural context in mind.

​

Supplemental materials tailored for Black girls do more than support academic success, they affirm identity, build confidence, and close representation gaps. These resources provide culturally relevant content, real-world readiness, and empowering narratives that reflect who they are and who they can become.

​

For Black girls specifically, this time is crucial for the formation of their identities, the realization and ownership of their purpose, and the development of essential life skills. Supplemental resources help equip them to navigate and overcome the risks associated with intersectionality — including racism, sexism, and systemic inequalities, that too often create unnecessary obstacles in their futures.

​

College Bound is a resource-rich roadmap for teenage and young adult Black women preparing for college and life beyond. This comprehensive guide offers the tools and support needed for smart, strategic future planning — covering everything from junior year of high school through college graduation. Inside are checklists, exercises, and chapters on the application process, scholarships, budgeting, debt management, résumé writing, interview prep, and more.

​

More than just a college prep book, College Bound is an empowering companion, filled with affirmation, self-assurance, and actionable guidance to help young Black women thrive, lead, and succeed on their journeys.
